Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for calculating the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance. Background Technology

[0002] Severe adhesion of netting to deep-sea aquaculture cages significantly impacts water exchange within the cages and increases the risk of cage damage. Therefore, calculating the impact of adhered netting on velocity distribution and water resistance is essential. However, the degree of netting adhesion in deep-sea aquaculture cages is uneven, making numerical calculations complex. Existing methods assume uniform density to calculate the impact of uniformly adhered netting on velocity distribution and water resistance, failing to consider the varying degrees of adhesion at different locations within the aquaculture cages. Therefore, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0003] (1) The effect of non-uniformly attached netting on velocity distribution cannot be considered.

[0004] (2) It is impossible to consider the influence of different positions and different degrees of attachment of the netting on the amplitude of water resistance.

[0005] (3) It cannot handle the connection and data exchange between meshes with different positions and different degrees of attachment.

[0006] (4) It is impossible to consider the mutual influence between meshes with different positions and different degrees of attachment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance, which can quickly and accurately assess the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance.

[0008] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical measures: a method for calculating the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1. Establish a numerical model of non-uniformly attached netting, which is composed of netting with different degrees of attachment set sequentially along the water depth direction.

[0010] S2. Establish a numerical model of the water tank, with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end;

[0011] S3. The netting is placed horizontally in the water tank, with gaps between the netting and the inlet, outlet, side wall, and bottom of the water tank.

[0012] S4. Mesh the fluid domain and the mesh, and establish topological shared boundaries between meshes with different adhesion levels and between meshes with different adhesion levels and the fluid domain.

[0017] S9. Establish different computational domain profiles, draw velocity distribution cloud maps based on velocity distribution, and integrate the pressure to obtain water resistance.

[0018] This invention relates to a calculation method for the influence of different attachment degrees of a single piece of netting at different locations on flow velocity distribution and water resistance under water flow conditions. This invention is the first to consider the influence of different attachment degrees of a single piece of netting on flow velocity distribution and water resistance. By employing computational fluid dynamics methods and porous media theory, and introducing methods for data exchange and topological sharing boundaries between netting with different attachment degrees, this invention can quickly and accurately assess the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance.

[0021] In step S4 of this invention, the mesh in the contact area between the fluid domain and the mesh is densified to a density of 0.1m to 0.025m.

[0022] In step S6 of this invention, the inlet boundary of the water tank adopts a velocity inlet, the outlet boundary adopts a free outflow, the sidewall adopts a wall boundary condition, and the water surface adopts a shear stress-free boundary condition.

[0023] In step S7 of this invention, transient calculations are used and the influence of gravity is considered. The pressure and flow velocity variables are discretized using a second-order discretization method, and the flow velocity distribution and pressure distribution are obtained by using the SIMPLEC algorithm.

[0024] In step S2 of this invention, a numerical model of the water tank is established through Boolean operations.

[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings to help those skilled in the art better understand the inventive concept of the present invention. However, the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. For those skilled in the art, all other embodiments obtained without creative effort without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a method for calculating the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0040] S1. Establish a numerical model of non-uniformly attached netting, which is composed of netting with different degrees of attachment set sequentially along the water depth direction.

[0041] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the non-uniformly attached netting 5 is a rectangular single-piece netting, 1.0m long and 0.4m high. It is composed of netting with different degrees of attachment arranged sequentially along the water depth direction. The netting with different degrees of attachment includes the first attached netting 1 (density Sn=0.15), the second attached netting 2 (density Sn=0.25), the third attached netting 3 (density Sn=0.35), and the fourth attached netting 4 (density Sn=0.45). The height of each attached netting is 0.1m, and the density of each attached netting increases sequentially from top to bottom.

[0042] This invention uses a variable density method to calculate the influence of non-uniformly attached netting on flow field distribution and water resistance. The overall netting has a low density at the top and a high density at the bottom, which can more realistically reflect the attachment status of the netting.

[0043] S2. Establish a numerical model of the water tank through Boolean operations. The water tank 6 is a cuboid with an inlet 7 at one end and an outlet 8 at the other end.

[0044] S3. The mesh 5 is placed horizontally in the water tank 6, with the mesh 5 having a gap between it and the inlet 7, outlet 8, side walls 9 and bottom surface 10 of the water tank 6 respectively.

[0045] See Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, the water tank 6 is 10m long, 2m wide, and 0.7m high. The mesh 5 is 3m from the inlet of the water tank 6, 7m from the outlet, 0.5m from each of the two side walls, and 0.3m from the bottom of the water tank. The top edge of the mesh is flush with the top edge of the side wall. The fluid flows in direction A.

[0046] S4. Mesh the fluid domain (water tank) and the mesh, and refine the mesh of the fluid domain in contact with the mesh, with a refinement range of 0.1m to 0.025m. Topologically share boundaries between meshes with different adhesion levels and between meshes with different adhesion levels and the fluid domain. That is, the feature nodes and boundaries at the contact positions between meshes with different adhesion levels and between meshes with different adhesion levels and the fluid domain are kept consistent and shared. The method of sharing topology ensures the connection of mesh nodes and realizes the transmission of data between meshes with different adhesion levels.

[0047] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the fluid domain is meshed with a tetrahedral grid with a grid size of 0.1m; the mesh is meshed with a hexahedral grid with a grid size of 0.025m. The mesh in the contact area between the fluid and the porous media mesh is refined.

[0048] To realize the effect of different attachment degrees at different locations of a single mesh on flow velocity and water resistance, flow velocity data is exchanged between mesh sections with different attachment degrees using a topologically shared boundary method.

For the specific dissipation rate diffusion term, " is the first mixing function", =0.856.

The calculation regions where meshes with different adhesion levels are located are set, and the water resistance coefficients and porous medium directions corresponding to meshes with different adhesion levels are input. The influence of the attached mesh on the flow field and water resistance is considered.

[0064] S7.

[0065] S8. Calculate the velocity and pressure distribution; This embodiment uses transient calculation and considers the influence of gravity. The pressure and velocity variables are discretized using a second-order discretization method, and the SIMPLEC algorithm is used to solve the problem, finally obtaining the velocity and pressure distribution.

The calculated water resistance acting on the attached netting is 8.573 N, which is about three times that of the netting without attachment.

[0071] Therefore, the present invention can be used to evaluate the impact of non-uniformly attached netting on flow velocity distribution and water resistance amplitude.
